Home FrontDesk Requirements

FrontDesk Requirements

The components of the FrontDesk system can be installed on a single computer or shared on many computers. Typically, one computer is designated as the server and other computers are called workstations (see How FrontDesk Works for details).

  • Server
    • One per hotel
    • Runs the hotel database (InnAble DB)
    • Responsible for backup and synchronization (InnAble.net)
  • Workstation
    • One or more per hotel
    • Runs the FrontDesk application (InnAble FrontDesk)

If InnAble Link is being used to connect to external systems, the Link components may be installed on the server or on any workstation.

    • Mouse, keyboard, monitor
  • Network
    • Permanent high-speed internet connection (Cable or DSL)

Note:
In many hotels the server is also a workstation.
That is, the FrontDesk application also runs on the server (it can run on many computers at the same time).
Using the server as a workstation does not change the system requirements.
